Star Quest: The Odyssey

What can i say, i know it was a low budget film and they may have tried, but this is worse the the asylum moves out there, lol i was actually looking in credits to see if they had anything to do with it. on my humble opinion i think i would have rather sat and watched attack of the killer tomato's. The design of the cgi ship was good but most of the space scenes were like watching a game intro with a lousy graphics card and very little memory, ie. not a smooth flow and most game graphics have better cgi. The acting was as expected in a low budget film and the fight scenes did not even look real, as i stated up the top the design of the space ship was what prompted me to give the score above, as for the movie itself i would only recommend it to someone i really didn't like just for the satisfaction of knowing that they wasted there time watching it.

This movie is little more than cheesy student film. The acting, the writing and the directing are very amateurish. Many people have complained about the special effects and CGI. I was expecting that for a low budget movie such as this, so it didn't bother me. I watch low budget movies to see them rise above their limits but "Star Quest" failed miserably at that. It is filled with tired clichés and blatant ripoffs. Someone should check the directors backpack for a copy of "Movie Directing for Dummies". Of the many problems I think the cheesiest were the multiple flashbacks that were silent except for the melodramatic slow piano music.

If you're looking for a campy low budget sci fi film that fires your imagination than look elsewhere. If you are a student filmmaker who needs a "what not to do" example, then this is your movie.

Space Quest, the final frontier of bad films. I wouldn't even consider this a "B" movie, it'd be a "C" movie for crap. The acting is horrible and the Captain Tanner looks like an emotionless action figure. I mean of all the science fiction films this one has stars that MOVE with the ship, even though they're billions of light years away this gives the illusion that it's snowing in space. Also the ship lags like hell whoever did the CGI doesn't know how to RENDER properly. The "cyborgs" in this look like they just took a few computer parts and slapped it on their bodies. The fight scenes look like a rock'em sock'em robots match. I don't get how in the future a "hyperdrive" can be broken due to a modern washer... though I admit the bridge of the ship looks pretty decent. The intercoms sound like they're talking out of a toilet. I understand this is a low budget indie film that got distribution but it doesn't justify the fact that it sucks. If you pay money to see this or not it is a waist of 90 minutes of your life regardless....

Read the other reviews on the first page. Go ahead, I'll wait...

OK have you finished? Good. Now remove anything positive anyone said about this movie. There is absolutely no way a sane person could enjoy this movie. I love watching bad movies but this movie is the worst of them all, taking 90 minutes of your life and giving nothing back. As another reviewer said: It is like a porn movie without the porn. It is a series of bedroom scene setups without the payoff.

This movie is absolutely horrible and should be erased from human consciousness forever. Do NOT watch it and if you do, then for the love of all that is sacred at least do NOT pay money for that dubious privilege.

Even the worst Star Trek movie was more enjoyable than this mess.

Okay, the plot is that in a distant future, humanity has divided between normal humans and a race of cyborgs. They fight a war, but at the moment of peace, they decide to send a starship with a huge crew of five (Yup, probably as many ill-fitting uniforms they could afford to have made) escort two cyborg emissaries back to earth.

Let's talk about the cyborgs. They are a cross between Klingons and Borg, with all the "interesting" surgically removed.

I have no doubt the only reason that Maverick Films (when you see their logo in the front of a film, you know you've been had) decided to cash in on the new Star Trek film.

Cheesy special effects, bad acting, recycled starship shots... a cliffhanger ending on the optimism that anyone would want to see a sequel... All just kind of sad.
